Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine your leftover mashed potatoes with canned or cooked fresh salmon, breaking apart the salmon thoroughly.
  2. Add an egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley or dill, flour, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Stir until well combined.
  3. Form the mixture into evenly sized patties and dust each lightly with flour.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and fry the patties for about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden-brown.

  6. While cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped chives, minced garlic, and seasoning.
  7. Serve the salmon cakes with the chive garlic sauce and enjoy warm.

Notes

Allowing the salmon mixture to rest helps patties hold together while frying. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
